Actually iam working on C in mainframes.
Until my knowledge in C we generally define high and low values for variables.
Low value is nothing but 0x00.
High value is nothing but 0xFF.
Generally we copy this into variables for checking or validation. |

Kalyan, "welcome to IBM Mainframes Forum".
Before you post a question, make sure you have browsed thru the manual and have ran a search in the forum. Your question has already been discussed in this forum.
Here you go...
Low value is lowest values in the collating sequence.High value is highest values in the collating sequence.
Collating sequence is the arrangement of alphabets of a language. This sequence is referrenced while performing SORT.
Thanks. |

Hi,
Low value is every bits in a byte is 0's and High value is every bits in a byte is 1's.
This is used for validating, and one of the usage is , used in VSAM (ESDS), before reading the record in CICS ENVIRONMENT.
Please suggest me some more usages if any one knowns.
Thanks & Regards

Huh? How so?
Probably that is more of a program switch.... |
